not being a bitch.... imo that's being lazy. you've got to train them to harness their energy.

but i think big dogs can be inside dogs. you just have to walk them and exercise them. i have an 80lbs beast of love who was in a 2 bedroom apartment for 2 years. i just would take her to the dog park A LOT.

Kinda sounds like how my dad was. He didn't want I dog but I know he loves Leo

My mom wants another dog now that Leo is getting old but now sure how my dad feels. But now that me and all my siblings are about moved out I'm sure they would love a dog around the house to keep them company

we've had jake since for maybe 15+ years now. that's crazy. he was just a baby pup in a cardboard box.

my mom has a lab and a shih-tzu. i have tried to love that mini mop of cuteness. she's just so dumb. the lab is cool. went through a weird humping phase though. i fell victim one christmas holiday.

i can appreciate someone who recognizes that. dogs are easy as long as you establish dominance and show affection. reward systems always are better. i would do tons of research on training and see which style suits you best.

He just had to have a surgery and the vets were surprised by how young he acted. It sucks knowing that he may only have a couple of years left, and we've certainly noticed his aging, but I think he may be one of those dogs that hangs around for a while

He's been part of my childhood though. We got him when I was 8, and he's been a great dog. I would love to get another dog like him to have
